Demographic statistics provide measures of the Australian population, its size, growth, composition and geographic distribution, as well as the components that shape population change: births, deaths and migration. Demographic data is used by all levels of government to assist in policy development and planning, and by academics and researchers to understand the changes affecting Australia.

Demographic data can assist you to:

monitor population growth over time

identify population trends

support small area planning

understand how the different demographic components contribute to population change.

A range of demographic data are available free of charge on our website and more detailed data can be obtained through our Information Consultancy Service. Contact our consultants who will discuss your detailed population data needs, and provide you with an obligation free quote.
